I have joined a gym (following yesterday's outburst) as I have 5 stone to lose (aaarrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!). Tonight I am having a fitness test and am so scared. I am going alone which is a first for me as usually won't go anywhere on my own in case people laugh at me or won't talk to me so please everyone wish me luck. Julie xxx

Loads of luck Julie. It's really not as scary as you think. I need to lose 5 stone too and the gym where I live isn't full of skinny babes as you imagine it will be. I'll be thinking of you and I might even go too!! Sarah xx

good luck...but dont be worried bout the fitness test, the people who work there would have seen a million people do the test, they are there to help you, not judge! my mum was dreading hers, but the people at her gym were brilliant...good luck! im sure you will enjoy it! XXX

Go for it kiddo.... if you're on a fitness regime and think you can raise the sponsorship why not come to the Sahara with us????? :O)

Good Luck Julie - don't worry about other people, they'll be much too involved in their own progress to laugh or judge - just give a big smile and go for it!

Julie,you'll be fine.reading what you said sounded just like me at the beginning of feb.but i went to the gym and shock horror...nobody looked at me ,they were all too busy working on the machines to look at me.now i go along and don't give a hoot....so what if someone does think i'm fat,i'm there to do somethig about it.since joining i've gone down a dress size. Good luck and let us know how you get on Karen

Wishing you luck Julie x Don't Worry, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Pat x

Good Luck Julie! You'll do great! loads of love becx

Julie, good luck. Don't panic at the amount you want to lose. Just do it a pound at a time. Every pound is progress Paul

Julie Good luck! One step at a time, one pound at a time. Daisy

Best of luck, Julie. Remember,though, that excess weight does not materialise out of thin air but has been eaten or imbibed. Exercise must be coupled with sensible eating. love len

I wish you luck :-) Joy

Good Luck Julie Luv JoJo xx
